ABSTRACT
Effects of Methyl-thiophenate, systemic fungicide on germination, seedling growth and biomass of resistant and susceptible variety of Triticum aestivum were studied. Systemic fungicide`s seed dressing increased the germination of both resistant and susceptible seeds. Application of systemic fungicide had greater effects on root and shoot growth of susceptible variety as compared to control. Root and shoot phenols were substantially elevated in both tested varieties following treatments with systemic fungicide particularly at higher concentrations (1500 and 2000ppm). Resistant variety was less affected in terms of fresh and dry weights as compared to susceptible, exhibiting some degree of tolerance to systemic fungicide.
